Do you spend more time playing games or reading the internet ??

I spend most of my time just browsing forums. I spend all day at work looking forward to getting home and playing some WoW or Supreme Commander but by the time I get back I just don't have the energy or will to sink a couple of hours into a game.

Even if I get the urge for a quick bout of BF2 or something, by the time the 15 minutes (load game, crash, restart, load game, round ends, load next level) or so it takes to get into a game has passed I have kind of lost the desire.

I love gaming and try and plan on getting whole days in on the weekend but other stuff just seems to get in the way :0\

Doh!! *Smacks head*

I got into listening to opera (mostly wagner and verdi) while playing games/browsing t'net over the last coupla years.

.........that tends to concentrate the attention ....don't knock the medium because its a common practice, its a known fact that the human attention span is diminishing all the time....buck the trend dude :)

i may use your quote elsewhere for reference ;)
 
Lol, they may have a point!

For me it varies. Sometimes I spend around 90% on news, forums, reading, researching etc and the rest on games. Other times, like at the moment, 50% gaming, 50% the rest.

i spend more time on the forums and news and messenger, mainly because at the moment my parents have gone nazi on me and are basically saying if i have fee time i should be studying for a-level re-sits, so if i have internet up i can have a tab for wiki to click to if my parents walk in, however it takes too long to do that with a game :(

Browsing is a bad habit really. Don't get much out of it most of the time and once I start it's hard to stop and get down to something more productive. It's like quick fix entertainment as it takes a couple of seconds to fire up a browser and hit a bookmarked site whereas firing up a full-screen game takes probably a minute or so to get into the action. Can't even imagine having to swap disks to load a game anymore like in the old days, can't be arsed with that anymore.

Snap although Fortress Forever has rekindled my intrest in gaming a little more:)
 
Anyone of you ever think what you would be doing now if there was no internet ???

I must spend hours on top of hours every month reading mainly rubbish on the internet :(
